The Dark Giant Ape looked at its master's miserable state and let out an angry roar, its limbs suddenly exerting force as it pounced towards the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure, seeing this, endured the piercing pain coming from its soul and fled into the depths of the darkness.

However, its path was blocked by the Tri-Colored Cloud Fox.

At this moment, Chu Chen stared at the shadowy figure, his eyes full of shock. In the faint light, he could vaguely make out the outline of the shadow.

Its height was about three meters, its body length reaching four meters, with a pair of scythe-like arms about a meter long, a triangular head, eyes on the sides of its head, a slender neck, a round belly, two pairs of wings on its back, and barbs on the end of its insect legs.

Isn't this just an enlarged version of a mantis?

A mantis having such terrifying strength was truly beyond his expectations.

Chu Chen quickly looked toward the Slaughter Atlas, and sure enough, the information on this mantis had already appeared in the atlas.

Looking at the information of Shadow Golden Mantis, Chu Chen immediately showed a look of shock. The opponent's quality actually reached Perfect Level Upper Grade, and its realm had also reached the peak of Commander Level. Without the rules' suppression of the Secret Realm, its realm might have long reached Lord Level.

Just as he was sighing, something suddenly occurred to him.

"No, with the strength of the Shadow Golden Mantis, there's absolutely no need to adopt assassination tactics. Could it be that the opponent is injured?" Chu Chen muttered to himself.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Yuyan asked softly, looking at Chu Chen, who seemed a bit lost.

Hearing this, Chu Chen finally came back to his senses and laughed it off.

When Chu Chen looked back at the cave, he found that the Tri-Colored Cloud Fox had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Feng Yu's face became extremely pale, and her delicate body trembled continuously, obviously enduring great pain.

Li Yifei's situation was no better, the bright red blood had long soaked his combat suit, and his face also became exceedingly pale.

At this moment, Li Yifei raised his hand and summoned his second Guardian Beast.

A beast that emitted a faint white glow appeared in front of Li Yifei.

At this moment, Li Yifei's injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the salamander in front of him let out a roar of pain.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately showed a look of astonishment.

Similarly startled was Zhang Yuyan.

"Is this his talent? To transfer his injuries to his Guardian Beast."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen nodded and said, "Very likely." Having said that, he once again summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the salamander's information.

This salamander is called White Jade Salamander, quality is only Elite Level Upper Grade, and its realm is at Eighth Rank War General Level.

Though its quality and realm were a bit low for Li Yifei, it possessed the ability of Limb Regeneration.

If combined with Li Yifei's talent, it indeed has a decent life-preserving ability.

Chu Chen can now confirm that Li Yifei's talent is injury transfer, which makes him extremely envious.

If he could have such a talent, his survival ability would need no further mention, and under the effect of the Slaughter Atlas, all Guardian Beasts contracted by Chu Chen could enjoy this talent's boost.

In other words, all of Chu Chen's contracted Guardian Beasts could use the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries, which also counts as a way of stacking the More Resilient talent for Nirvana.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen's gaze toward Li Yifei became exceedingly fervent.

At this moment, Shadow Golden Mantis is battling with the Dark Giant Ape.

The injury to its soul made it difficult for Shadow Golden Mantis to fully unleash its strength, even affecting its speed significantly.

Li Yifei's face was extremely unsightly at this time, this battle having exposed his talent.

The talents of Beast Masters are the greatest secret of each Beast Master. Now that his secret was seen by Feng Yu, it meant his talent would no longer be a secret.

Li Yifei looked towards Feng Yu with an unfriendly expression, a trace of killing intent faintly revealed in his eyes.

Feng Yu's perception ability was strong, she sensed it immediately. She bore the excruciating pain of the contract breaking and summoned her second Guardian Beast.

At this moment, Feng Yu's chest was pierced by sharp claws.

Feng Yu lowered her head to look at her chest, her pupils full of disbelief.

"Why..." Feng Yu turned her head with difficulty, asking reluctantly.

Li Yifei said coldly: "Don't blame me, blame yourself for seeing what you shouldn't have seen."

Chu Chen frowned as he looked at Feng Yu's dead body, Li Yifei's ruthlessness completely exceeded his understanding.

What the Vermilion Bird Daoist School cultivated were hardly prodigies; they were simply devils.

Feng Yu ended up like this all thanks to Li Yifei, it was his greed that killed her.

"That Li Yifei is truly scum, it seems that the Vermilion Bird Daoist School is full of blind fools," Zhang Yuyan said in a low voice, frowning.

"Alas! Since ancient times, people's hearts have been inscrutable. It can only be said that Li Yifei disguised himself too well."

After dealing with Feng Yu, Li Yifei had no further worries, he once again used a soul skill against Shadow Golden Mantis.

With the Dark Giant Ape entangling the Shadow Golden Mantis, it couldn't avoid Li Yifei's attack at all.

Being hit by the soul skill again, the Shadow Golden Mantis let out a heartrending scream, its figure flickering as it charged towards Li Yifei.

It was so fast that the Dark Giant Ape couldn't stop it in time.

Li Yifei showed no change in expression, as if he had foreseen it.

Li Yifei tapped his communication bracelet, and a Defense Shield instantly enveloped him.

Unaware, the Shadow Golden Mantis crashed directly into the Defense Shield, stumbling back a few steps before stabilizing itself.

By this time, the Dark Giant Ape had already rushed up, its fist as big as a sandbag slamming toward the Shadow Golden Mantis's head.

The Shadow Golden Mantis quickly raised its blade to block.

With a "bang," the Shadow Golden Mantis was knocked back.

Chu Chen frowned at the scene, finding the actions of the Shadow Golden Mantis very strange.

Firstly, its strength was obviously strong, but its combat performance was weak, its overall combat power reduced by at least half.

Secondly, its speed was clearly very fast, even if it couldn't win, it could easily escape, as the Dark Giant Ape couldn't catch up.

After much consideration, the only possibility was that there was something very important to it inside the cave, something it would protect even at the cost of its life.

In that case, the only possibility is that it's protecting its offspring.

With this in mind, the series of strange actions by the Shadow Golden Mantis began to make sense.
